Hi all,i have a samsung galaxy s5 phone,the touch screen works fine with my fingers but wont respond to a stylus,is that normal?

could it be a stylus will only work with a resistive screen not capacitive?

If you have a stylus with a pointy end, then it does not work with a capacitive touch screen (as most phones have)

For a capacative touch screen you need a stylus with a (conductive) rubber dome at the end.
